had a look through my files and it is remarkable how few images really leap out at you - nature tends to be quite subdued but these might be on the right track:

Fraid mine is a joke based on your definition
Last thing I want to do is to win this- Daniella has not commented on any of my pics since my last "judging"- think I upset her

Well you may be in luck as there are some very vibrant entries. You gave Daniella a 2nd place AND an HM - found the dpr link to see what you wrote!

I fully agree that Daniella's shot of the dragonfly is probably technically the most difficult shot of all the ones posted, however that is not the only point for judgement. Having looked at these top 5 pictures for over two hours trying to reach a judgement , I found that particular picture quite quickly loses ones attention, when I asked myself why, the answer is quite easy- it has no context

I agreed at the time and still think her other shot was better.
